Chuck joined Michaels Energy in 2008 and is currently a Senior Engineer in the Research and Evaluation Department. This work includes assessing the effectiveness of completed industrial, commercial, and institutional efficiency projects. The results are used to evaluate utility energy efficiency programs. When Chuck is not busy working on project evaluations, he conducts energy audits in commercial and industrial facilities to help owners discover affordable ways to save energy and money. He also performs engineering calculations used to determine incentives to be paid for implementing energy efficiency measures.

Chuck graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering after receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the same university. He is registered as a Professional Engineer in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Chuck and his wife spend much of their spring and summer hours doing wildlife rehabilitation, taking in orphaned and injured wild mammals (e.g., raccoons, squirrels, etc.), taking care of them until they can be released back into the wild. He also does regular group workouts at a local fitness center and enjoys cycling. When he is not taking care of wildlife, he spends much of his time taking care of their garden and domestic animals.
